Assay Principle
This sandwich ELISA quantifies rat 72 kDa type IV collagenase (gene Mmp2) in cell culture supernatants, serum and plasma (heparin). Strips are pre-coated with a capture antibody. After the sample is added, a biotinylated detection antibody binds the captured protein, and an avidin–biotin–peroxidase complex supplies the enzyme. TMB develops color in proportion to the bound target; the reaction is stopped and read at 450 nm, and concentrations are read from the standard curve.
MMP-2 (gelatinase A, 72 kDa type IV collagenase) is a widely expressed matrix metalloproteinase that degrades type IV collagen of basement membranes, gelatin and other matrix proteins. It is involved in vascular remodeling, angiogenesis and tissue repair, and gelatin zymography of MMP-2 is a common readout in studies of cell invasion, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
